More engaging than WWF

Jan 6, 2018

Cxnorris24

I like this game a lot. It's more fun than WWF (which I also play) because the game keeps track of your ranking based on your wins and losses vs ranked opponents. In WWF each game is fun but doesn't affect anything other than a single win/loss. Here, each game is significant to your overall ranking. You can choose to play other players whose rankings are similar to yours. Each win or loss will raise or lower the players' overall rankings, so it appeals to one's competitiveness more than WWF. Another reason I like it is because the words it allows are not as arcane or medieval as are many of the words allowed in WWF. The game could be improved by 1) showing word totals you try playing even when it's not your turn, and 2) showing whether a word is valid or not without having to submit it. The latter suggestion would speed the game up.

Thoroughly enjoying it! One big difference I perceive from the "board game" version is that you have the opportunity to try out different letter combos, with immediate feedback on validity from the "machine" - some might say this eliminates one of the more challenging and fun aspects of the old style game, but it's all good...;)

Great to be able to play with multiple players in parallel!

This is like the cool underground word game. No superfluous frills , just great word game that challenges you! I like playing with real people and no silly commercials . The developer is awesome because he always responds to questions from people, which shows someone who cares about his users.
